Aligning the brake pads
The brake pads should be aligned accurately against the wheel rim. Check both the left and right
brake pads are correctly aligned, on both the front and rear brakes.
Squeeze the brake arm so the pad touches the
wheel rim and check it touches the centre of the
wheel rim. If the brake pad overhangs the wheel
rim or rubs the tyre it will need to be adjusted.
To adjust the brake pad loosen the brake pad
xing screw.
Hold the brake pad in the correct position against
the wheel rim and tighten the xing screw.
Press the brake arm and position the brake pad
position so that it touches the wheel rim with no
overhang above or below the rim.
